The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, has set up a phone bank for Texas families trying to relocate love ones evacuated after Hurricane Harvey to state-run shelters in Louisiana.

DCFS say that they cannot confirm the identities of people staying in its shelters for safety reasons. DCFS officials say people can call the reunification lines and provide the name, address and date of birth of the person they are trying to locate.

The caller needs to provide his own name and contact information and DCFS will determinate whether the person is in a state shelter, if so, they will pass along the message.
